Episode 397 - Shaping Your Homeschool Approach


Listen Later

Welcome to The Smiling Homeschooler Podcast! This week, we’re introducing the newest regular member of our podcast crew, Katherine Petgen!


Katherine is Todd’s daughter, a homeschool mom, a wife, and a homeschool graduate. She shares how homeschooling has impacted her life for the better, along with some of the lessons she’s carried into her own family. We also talk about her homeschooling personality type and how that can shape the way we approach teaching our kids. Lastly, we dive into the question so many parents wrestle with, when should you start structured homeschooling and how to push back against the pressure to begin too early.

Before we get started, we want to thank Teaching Textbooks for making what we do possible. They help thousands of homeschoolers smile every day, and if you haven’t checked them out yet, you can do so at teachingtextbooks.com.


Today’s show is also underwritten by Samaritan Ministries and REDEEM HealthShare. Members are committed to honoring Christ and serving one another through healthcare needs. As Todd likes to say, “We use, love, and recommend Samaritan Ministries.” You can learn more about REDEEM HealthShare by Samaritan Ministries here https://hubs.ly/Q03VZL6M0

Have a great week and don't forget to smile!
